England fans being horrible and disrespectful by booing Croatia’s national anthem and then booing Luka Modrić when he came on screen while singing the anthem.
And they still act surprised that everybody hates them
Football doesn’t need 100 points, timeouts or commercials every few minutes to keep people entertained. That’s what a lot of Americans across the USA are discovering right now.
@usmntonly Religation is the stupidest shit in the world. A business or city cannot invest $4 billion dollars for a stadium that gets relegated. This is just simple business sense. Fuck this asshole and all the agree with him.
Mauricio Pochettino said that ‘American sports reward losers’ when asked about the style of play in top European nations vs. in the U.S. 😯🇺🇸
QUESTION: “We know how England, France, Spain play… Players from countries with a strong tradition have a recognizable style. What is the style of the US team? What kind of football do the Americans want to play?”
ANSWER: “Their culture is playful. They want to play. We told them, “Guys, playing soccer is one thing, competing is another.” They’re two completely different sports. They grow up in a culture of playing. Why? If you start in MLS and you haven’t won a game in three months and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there’s no promotion or relegation, no international competition? American sports reward losers! But soccer is different: if you reward those who don’t win… If you don’t have goals, you don’t fight. If I lose, what happens? Nothing. They just fire the coach. Also, the American player is disciplined. But with a sense of complacency that isn’t good in soccer. It took us a year and a half to change that mentality.”

@GM_Daedric@beltwayboyz You’ve no idea what I’m saying, your are making a tit of yourself, I’m not calling the nfl poor in terms of money, I’m saying it’s poor in quality compared to rugby
@RonanMullier@beltwayboyz no one brought up money except you, the “poor man’s versions” has to do with money stop ignoring that and babbling on and on about “money” when your the one who brought up that conversation because you don’t understand the meaning of the saying your using
@GM_Daedric@beltwayboyz Again no one cares about the money someone makes, why are Americans obsessed with money, NFL has about 1432 ad breaks, ofc they’ll make more money, people want to see the game, not ads
@RonanMullier@beltwayboyz American Football also has about 400 million + fans and is expanding worldwide, Rugby has 450-500+ million fans worldwide and is also worldwide already NFL makes more money being a different version of rugby and the players get paid more so “a poor man’s rugby” doesn’t fit
@ColdDudeKTA@beltwayboyz You are fucking stupid😭 I’m saying the nfl is a poor/shit version of rugby, nothing to with pay, talking to Americans is like talking to toddlers😭
@GM_Daedric@beltwayboyz You are fucking stupid😭 I’m saying the nfl is a poor/shit version of rugby, nothing to with pay, talking to Americans is like talking to toddlers😭
@RonanMullier@beltwayboyz How is is the poor man’s sports when basically all the top NFL players and even average players are paid vastly more money and watched more just in the USA compared to rugby, it’s a completely different version at this point
@JeffEnglehart@AriWasserman Also far less talent in soccer. NFL is comprised of some of the best pure athletes in the world. They dont grow on trees like your local semi professional soccer player.
I don't know anything about soccer, so forgive me for my ignorance, but how is it humanly possible for Cape Verde to assemble a team that can prevent Spain from scoring a goal?
